The Real Cause
What is the real cause of the pain?
'Functional causes' invisible on MRI
Vascular compression is not the only cause. 'Functional causes' invisible on imaging tests (MRI/CT) trigger trigeminal neuralgia.
Ulfit aims for fundamental treatment by resolving structural problems (jaw joint, cervical spine, fascia) that irritate the nerves.
Ulfit's Perspective
The trigeminal nerve is closely connected to the skull, jaw joint, cervical spine, and fascia.
Structures Pressing on Nerves
-
1. TMJ Asymmetry
A misaligned jaw joint compresses the nerve pathway, causing pain.
-
2. Upper Cervical Misalignment
Issues with the 1st and 2nd cervical vertebrae sensitize the trigeminal nerve nucleus.
-
3. Fascial Tension
Adhesions in the fascia around the face and neck increase nerve tension.
When these structures are misaligned, the path through which the nerve passes narrows, causing pain to explode.
Diagnosis System
4 Diagnostics to Find Functional Causes
Check 01
3D TMJ Analysis
Analyze opening patterns, deviation, and fascial tension
to locate nerve compression points.
Check 02
Upper Cervical Evaluation
Evaluate nerve nucleus stimulation by checking
C1-C2 rotation and suboccipital muscle tension.
Check 03
Fascial Map
Map the tenderness patterns of the face to identify
the direction of pain and adhesions.
Check 04
Occlusion/Habit Analysis
Identify habits that sensitize nerves, such as
teeth clenching and unilateral chewing.
Non-Surgical Approach
Trigeminal Neuralgia Treatment Program
TMJ Correction (TBT)
Decompress nerves by adjusting disc position and jaw balance.
Upper Cervical Correction
Lowers nerve nucleus excitability and improves cranio-cervical circulation.
Deep Fascia Treatment
Remove deep trigger points (TrP) with special acupuncture and herbal injections.
Stabilization Device
Prevent recurrence by preventing teeth grinding and maintaining structural stability.
Recovery Roadmap
Step-by-Step Treatment Goals
A 3-step roadmap for
recovery without recurrence
STEP 01
Blocking Pain Pathways
Acute pain relief, removal of fascial TrP, resolution of nerve-irritating structures
STEP 02
Nerve Pathway Realignment
Restoration of TMJ/cervical spine function, balancing left and right tension, breaking the recurrence loop
STEP 03
Stabilization for Recurrence Prevention
Adjustment of occlusion/sleep habits, concurrent device therapy, recovery of normal sensation
